MSF Revolution Series: Viva Cuba Libre!

Published by Marxist Student on

 

The MSF Revolution series is an online meeting that discusses different revolutions every Thursday at 6pm. Our first meeting was on the Russian Revolution – the video for it can be found here.

This week’s meeting was on the Cuban revolution of 1959. Cuba saw the first socialist revolution in the western hemisphere, one that took place on the doorstep of US imperialism. Its struggle for national liberation, that transformed into a socialist revolution is one that all Marxists must study and learn from.
